“We had the best experience with Pamela! She stepped in VERY last minute after a sitter on Rover cancelled at the very last minute. Pamela sent pics to keep us updated while on our trip. She took the time to show us where the pups sleep, play, eat at her house during pick-up. My pup was loved on and had the opportunity to be outside a lot-which she loves. Terrific all around experience with Pamela and her husband. So thankful to have found them!”

About: I believe pets are family, and I care for every animal as if they were my own. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors, earning their trust through dependable and compassionate care. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, taking walks, or providing overnight care, I’m committed to keeping pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their families are away. I love sharing little moments from your pet’s day through photos and updates, so you can feel connected and have peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and receiving plenty of love and attention. I am off work for the summer and my husband works from home 100% of the time so there is always someone home to care for and love on your pet. We go on walks every day and spend a good chunk of the day frolicking in and out and hanging in the backyard. I have a fenced in yard and no stairs to worry about to keep your pet safe or for older pets who have a hard time with climbing stairs. I have two very friendly basset hounds to give your pet additional company😊
“This was my first time leaving Lucy with a sitter like this, so I was definitely a little anxious. Melissa made the whole experience really easy and kept me updated while I was gone. Lucy came home happy and well taken care of, and I felt like she was in good hands the whole time. I’d definitely trust Melissa with Lucy again!”

“We have a needy English cream golden (she just loves humans SO much) jessica and entire family gave her lots of love while she stayed with them for 4 days while we traveled. Recommend!”
“Kelsey was fantastic!! Our lab has such a great time with Kelsey & her family and was so well cared for! Mango spent 6 weeks with Kelsey due to overseas work and it worked so well! Immediately upon our meet and greet I could tell Kelsey was the perfect person for us - friendly, easy to communicate with, flexible, had a golden retriever for our dog to play with, allowed dogs on furniture, lots of outdoor playtime, and a loving home. Clear communication and pictures every few days kept us informed. I would happily use Kelsey again (Mango would love to go back and see the whole family again) and would recommend her to everyone! Thank you!!”

“Lizmarie was fantastic! It was so great to see pictures and videos of our little Molly through the day. It was so reassuring to see and to know that Molly was so happy and was taken such great care of. Will definitely use her again. Great experience overall!”

About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner, I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where your dog feels right at home. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, as well as cats. Beyond caring for my own pets, I've worked with rescue organizations as a foster, helping dogs transition into loving forever homes. That experience has given me patience, confidence, and the ability to care for pets with a variety of temperaments and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll tailor their care to match their routine. I'm comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, maintaining exercise routines, and providing plenty of love and attention while you're away. I work with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for extended periods. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. I know every pet is unique, and I look forward to getting to know yours and treating them like one of my own. Every dog's ideal day looks a little different, and I do my best to match their routine so they feel right at home. Because I work from home, your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. Mornings typically start with a potty break, breakfast (if that's part of their schedule), and some playtime or a walk. Throughout the day, dogs can relax inside our spacious home, enjoy supervised time in our fenced backyard, or play with my two friendly dogs if they enjoy canine companionship. My older dog, Colby, is calm and loves to lounge around, making her a great companion for senior or more relaxed dogs. Swiss is younger, playful, and always happy to have a buddy to run around with. Whether your dog prefers to play or simply nap in a sunny spot, they'll have a companion that matches their energy level. The evenings are all about more outdoor time, cuddles, dinner, and winding down before bed. My goal is for every dog to feel like they're on their own little vacation while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home provides a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of room to relax and explore. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, stretch their legs, and enjoy supervised outdoor time. Inside, there's plenty of space for dogs to spread out, nap, or simply be part of the family. I carefully introduce new dogs to my own pets to ensure everyone is comfortable. My two resident dogs are well-trained, friendly, and accustomed to sharing their home with visiting dogs through my rescue and fostering experience. Because I work from home, I'm able to provide frequent potty breaks, monitor playtime, and give each dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or a senior, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay. I understand that every pet has unique routines and preferences, and I'm happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, favorite toys, and any special instructions to help them feel right at home.
“Dana and her family are wonderful to my dog Oliver! Oliver is always so excited upon arrival, as is Dana. I will continue to send Oliver to what I feel is an extremely safe space for him. Thank you for looking out for the fur babies as you look out for your own.”

“I appreciate how easy Xue makes this process, and I loved not having to lug the kennel around. Eli got to play with dogs his own size, and I felt comfortable leaving him for a few days. I'll definitely rebook here for future stays if I can!”

“Karrie was wonderful with our little guy, Charlie! She sent updates (with photos) to let us know he was doing well and happy! Would totally use her again! Thank you so very much for caring for him!”

“So grateful to have found Julia and Rue!! Mia had the best time. I got plenty of updates and felt at ease knowing she was in a safe and loving home! Will 100% be booking again!”

“Jill and Julia were very friendly and communicative to make sure our dog was well taken care of. We loved the picture updates and that their dogs were up for energetic puppy play.”

“cassie and ben were absolutely incredible! super down to earth people. helped us out in a pinch while on vacation and wanted a safe spot for our pup to play for a few hours. definitely recommend!”

Deanna and her son were so great with Moose. Deanna sent me daily updates and was super flexible on timing and things. I know Moose got a lot of love from them and came back tuckered out and happy. Will absolutely reach out to Deanna again the next time I need boarding.

Jessica and her girls were great to my Lucy and Otis. Jessica sent daily update photos twice a day, morning and evening. She was just the right amount of communicative and provided a great sense of safety while we were away on a trip for five days. Her doggy Rain seemed like a great companion to also get some needed socialization for our Lucy who just loves being around other younger pups. Overall, I would recommend Jessica and her girls to anyone needing a safe place to keep their pups in the KC metro area.

Pamela was an excellent choice and we will definitely book with her again. We had a unique situation that happened last minute (one of our two dogs had to be kept separate from all other dogs). Pamela took it all in stride and was able to make adjustments to accommodate our special need. She and her husband are true ‘dog people’. We were able to relax and not worry about our fur babies while on an extended vacation.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Shawnee on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,152 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Shawnee. About 94% of Shawnee sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KS ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
